The 19-year-old forward impressed in a wide role on his full Barclays Premier League debut in last Saturday's goalless draw at Hull.[LNB]Hoilett joined Blackburn at the age of 12 but has spent the past two seasons on loan with German clubs while Rovers tried to secure a work permit for him.[LNB]Allardyce said: "I like him. The young man has got a bright future, hopefully with us. [LNB]"He was a little lacking in his final ball perhaps but there is a lot of potential there. He showed some good ability and pace.[LNB]"Hopefully we can secure him on a longer-term contract and get him more involved in our first team. [LNB]"The telling thing in the Premier League is, you see good ability year in and year out but when they get in the Premier League they haven't got the bottle to produce it and they fade away."[LNB][LNB]
